Slimmers in Worcester loose more than 260 stone in the first three months of 2014

SLIMMERS in Worcester have lost a total of more than 260 stone in the first three months of this year.

Members of Weight Watchers groups in the area shed the weight after Christmas following findings by Public Health England that 65.3 per cent of people in Worcester are either overweight or obese.

In an effort to encourage others to slim down, Worcester Weight Watchers group leader Dawn Cooper is throwing open the doors to meetings in the area to non-members in the last week of March.

She said: "The recent Public Health England statistics highlight that obesity is a growing concern and with links to heart disease, diabetes and even some cancers, it's something which we should all be aware of."

“Weight Watchers members in Worcester have lost over 260 stone so far this year and we know we can help even more Worcester residents to lose that excess weight.

“That's why we've decided to open our doors next week and help Worcester get on the right track to tackle our weighty problem.

“We encourage all Worcester residents who are concerned about their weight to come and see us – together we can make a big difference and reduce Worcester 's risk of obesity."

Needs more proof reading although perhaps the people concerned don't know how to spell.

Loose fitting clothes, maybe... Newspapers love their INFLATED STATISTIC in headlines... ADDING UP THE GROUP TOTAL is always an old chestnut... ridiculous... Or maybe the average is about 5 POUNDS! We'll never know as they do not say how many people were involved in the stats...
